The Man Next Door

Chapter V

With a bowl of popcorn in hand, I joined Liam on the sofa, "thank you" I said with a smile after he placed a blanket over my lap for us to share. As he leaned closer to grab a handful of popcorn, his leg grazed mine, making my heart race, "I really didn't think this through" I told myself once realising my hormones were going to be all over the place with him being so close to me in a dark room, just the two of us. Luckily I got too involved in 'The Boy II' to think about it, "oh God, this seems more paranormal than the first one" I whispered to myself while holding a hand over my eyes and peeking through my fingers. Suspense was building up in the scene and I expected a jump scare to happen any minute now.

Liam's POV

I watched her adorable self cover her eyes and an idea popped into my head. While she was distracted, I slowly leaned forward and in time with the movie, I made her jump by grabbing her ankle. I couldn't help but laugh, "what the hell?" she asked amused while holding a hand to her chest, "sorry, I couldn't help myself" I replied with a sheepish grin. Grabbing a pillow from the floor, she threw it at my face, but I easily caught it. After sharing a look, "I suggest you run" I challenged her with a smirk. She removed the blanket off her and threw it at me as a distraction, before running away. Letting the blanket and pillow fall on the floor, I started to chase her as we both laughed.

It wasn't long before I caught up with her and once she entered the bedroom, I tackled her on the bed and pinned her down. With me on top, we stared at each other, the only source of light coming from the streetlights outside the window, peeking through the curtains. I was drawn to her like a magnet and the desire to have her lips on mine was stronger than the little willpower I had left to control myself. She bit her lip with eyes full of lust and I couldn't give a shit anymore, I gave in.

Tightening my grip on her wrists, I leaned in until our lips met. The kiss quickly grew passionate, as she wrapped her legs around me, pulling my body closer to hers. Moving her hips in time with mine, we rubbed against each other, making my dick harder than it already was. Letting go of her wrists, soft moans escaped her lips when I grabbed her boob and rubbed her hard nipple between two fingers. I licked her neck before biting on a sensitive spot and as I marked her, she grabbed my dick through my joggers, making me groan in pleasure. Getting fed up of the fabric between us, I grabbed the hem of her tiny shorts with the intention of taking her top off straight after, but just when I was about to pull them off, I heard my phone ring from the living room.

Annabeth's POV

"Not again" I thought to myself, feeling like I was having a déjà vu. Liam gave me a look I couldn't figure out and, after swearing under his breath, he got up from the bed. "You ok?" I asked apprehensively as I sat back up, suddenly feeling exposed despite still having my clothes on, "yeah" he replied, not sounding convincing at all, "sorry, this was a mistake" he said making my heart drop. After taking a minute, "you're not single are you?" I asked fearful of the answer, "no, it's not that" he quickly said, before looking away. I was expecting an explanation, but, "I should go" he hesitantly said before walking out. Following behind, I watched him grab his phone and walk towards the door. With his hand on the door handle, "I'm sorry" he once again said, "it's ok" I lied before giving him a fake reassuring smile, and with a nod, he left.
